Until (a) death (certificate) do us part, Part 2

When we last saw our intrepid hero (i.e., me), I... rather, he was leaving the Department of Public Health Vital Records at 313 N. Figueroa Street, Room Lobby-1, Los Angeles, CA 90012 ("X" on the map below, which you'll have to click on the post's link to see) with a couple of newly purchased copies of his wife's death certificate.  Looking up and down the Figueroa Street, however, failed to produce any sight of a stop for a Metro bus that would return him to downtown Los Angeles.  True, there was one a block southwest of him.  Instead, he started traipsing southeast down Figueroa and managed to turn what should have been a three-minute walk to the bus stop into a 2.1-mile trek.  But at least he eventually got home.  However, what he found when he got home... that's a whole 'nother tale for the next post.
Map key
"X" marks the spot of the Los Angeles County Public Health Department (LACPH), including the Department of Public Health Vital Records.  On Figueroa Street, just south of Temple Street
"A" = the bus stop across the street where I debarked from the bus, a.k.a. probably the easiest and fastest way I could have gotten back to downtown
"B" = Metro line # 60 bus stop that is the closest on the return route back to downtown Los Angeles.  According to Google maps, it is a 0.1-mile or 3-minute walk, on Hope Street, just south of Temple Street
"C" = Metro line # 60 bus stop that is the closest to LACPH and is on the part of the route that runs both ways.  According to Google maps, it is 1.2-mile or 25-minute walk.
"D" = Oh, wait, there is no "D" on the map.  That's because "D" is so far off the map that I would have to almost double the map's height and width just to show it.  If I remember correctly, it was on Broadway around Pico, which would make it a 2.1 mile/ 42-minute (not including time out for shopping) walk, where I finally found a bus stop for the southbound Metro #40 bus line.

Red lines = part of the route for Metro bus line # 60 to and from downtown Los Angeles that runs both ways
Green lines = route of Metro bus line # 60 that runs only in the direction that the arrow at the end of each line is pointing
Blue line = Temple Street (along with the green line that joins it just above "B")
